STRT(up) Highlight: Sensate - Empowering Neurodiversity in the Workplace




About Sensate


We love Sensate because of its goal to help the neurodivergent community in professional environments. Sensate aims to destigmatize fidgeting in professional environments for all types of people.

About the Founder


Anna Buendia

Anna Buendia started this project in high school when she realized that she needed to fidget to focus but found all the fidget toys on the market were childish and loud. Buendia and her co-founder Simi Thakur both related to this feeling and became increasingly passionate about helping people once they realized others have the same problem. That’s when the idea for making a sleek attachable fidget tool came to be. Currently, their biggest challenge is prototyping.
